Welcome to join us at Swedish Swing Society for a laid back dance evening!
This evening is all about getting to know people, dancing and trying new things!
There will be music. There will be coffee and cookies to purchase. There will be a cosy dance floor. Eat something, have a chat, try out some fancy steps at the dance floor. Meet people!
There will be a lindy hop workshop this evening with Chatlerk and Aleks. We think that you need to be at least BeginnerIntermediate or Intermediate level to enjoy this workshop.
PLEASE bring your own waterbottle!
NOTE!
We are very sorry to inform that we have had repeated thefts of (smaller) bags at our socials. Both from the changing rooms as well as from the dance hall. Don't leave any important/valuable stuff unsupervised. ( Keyes, credit cards, wallet, mobile, medicine etc.) Smaller safes have been bought, but are not installed yet.
MUSIC
The music this evening will be swing oriented and lindy-friendly. Having said so we give DJs room for adding a bit of spice (if they want to) with influences from latin swing, bebop, rhythem and blues and slow swing for instance - without leaving the core theme.
This is also the evening where new aspiring DJs and prominent veterans make the dancefloor swing together.

Our evening is about veterans and rookies creating together.
You do not have to be experienced/professional
to help organize, share your favourite music, perform or share a a little workshop. Of course we want veterans showing off :D, but we have all started somewhere.
(For performances and workshops you do need to contact us two weeks in advance so we can adjust DJ- and volunteer schedule. On our lindy evenings we want them to be in the area of lindy hop, jazz or tap dance)
